The Get Down story is set in 1970s New York. The once radiant metropolis is completely run down and practically broke. The atmosphere is tense and threatens to change at any moment. Last but not least, criminal gangs are forming everywhere, ensuring that there is always unrest and never safety on the streets. Times are tough -- a devastating reality that even a teenage gang in the South Bronx feels uncomfortably every day.
"The Get Down" portrays the beginnings of hip-hop quite well and with a lot of realism.
The setting and costumes are also wonderful.
The soundtracks of the series are banging anyway.
It's a shame the series was canceled... But for anyone interested in the history of hip-hop, it's definitely worth seeing.
